SJ GIO Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 So I was driving my truck this weekend when the check engine light came on plug in my code reader and said my mass airflow sensor had an error should I just replace it and what can be the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I wouldn't just start just throwing parts at it. Do you have an oiled filter like a k and n? Did you recently work on your truck? I would inspect the connector make sure connector is in good condition and wires and pins are making good contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Clean it off with maf cleaner or electrical cleaner and see if thatll work. and what was said above the oil from the air filter could mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ GIO Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I do have a K&n air filter the most recent thing I did was change the engine oil and cleaned out the air filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Then you most likely over oiled your k and n. I saw TONS of that when I wrote service at a Chevy dealer for a few years.... That is why I hate them. I only use dry filters for that reason. You can try and clean your MAF but you may need to buy a new one depending how bad it is. I wouldn't drive to long I had a few customers who fried their transmission due to over oiled MAFs. Any type of oiled filter is junk in my opinion for that reason.... Yes if you don't over oil they are usually fine but why chance it? I made a lot of money from people over oiling a few years ago.....
